ble.
The ESC OFF indicator light comes
on when the ESC is turned off with
the button. Driving with wheels and tires with
different sizes may cause the ESC
system to malfunction. Before

ESC OFF usage
When Driving
The ESC OFF mode should only be
used briefly to help free the vehicle if
stuck in snow or mud, by temporarily
stopping operation of the ESC, to
maintain wheel torque.
To turn ESC off while driving, press
the ESC OFF button while driving on
a flat road surface. Do not allow wheel(s) of one
axle to spin excessively while
the ESC, ABS, and parking brake
warning lights are displayed.
The repairs would not be cov-
ered by the vehicle warranty.
Reduce vehicle power and do
not spin the wheel(s) excessive-
ly while these lights are dis-
played.
When operating the vehicle on a dynamometer, make sure the
ESC is turned off (ESC OFF light
illuminated).
Information
Turning the ESC off does not affect
ABS or standard brake system opera-
tion.
Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM)
The Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM) is a function of the Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) system. It
helps ensure the vehicle stays stable
when accelerating or braking sud-
denly on wet, slippery and rough
roads where traction over the four
tires can suddenly become uneven.
i
NOTICE
Take the following precautions
when using the Vehicle Stability
Management (VSM):
ALWAYS check the speed and
the distance to the vehicle
ahead. The VSM is not a substi-
tute for safe driving practices.
Never drive too fast for the
road conditions. The VSM sys-
tem will not prevent acci-
dents. Excessive speed in bad
weather, slippery and uneven
roads can result in severe
accidents.

Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
The Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
helps prevent the vehicle from rolling
backwards when starting a vehicle
from a stop on a hill. The system
operates the brakes automatically for
approximately 3 seconds and releas-
es the brake after 3 seconds or when
the accelerator pedal is depressed.
Information
• The HAC does not operate when thegear is in P (Park) or N (Neutral).
• The HAC activates even though the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is
off but does not activate when the
ESC has malfunctioned.
Good Braking Practices
Wet brakes can be dangerous. The
brakes may get wet if the vehicle is
driven through standing water or if it
is washed. Your vehicle will not stop
as quickly if the brakes are wet. Wet
brakes may cause the vehicle to pull
to one side. To dry the brakes, apply the brakes
lightly until the braking action returns
to normal. If the braking action does
not return to normal, stop as soon as
it is safe to do so and call an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer for assistance.
DO NOT drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. Even light, but
constant pedal pressure can result in
the brakes overheating, brake wear,
and possibly even brake failure.
If a tire goes flat while you are driv-
ing, apply the brakes gently and
keep the vehicle pointed straight
ahead while you slow down. When
you are moving slowly enough for it
to be safe to do so, pull off the road
and stop in a safe location.
Keep your foot firmly on the brake
pedal when the vehicle is stopped to
prevent the vehicle from rolling for-
ward.
i
Always be ready to depress the
accelerator pedal when starting
the vehicle on an incline. The
HAC feature activates only for
approximately 3 seconds.
WARNING
Whenever leaving the vehicle or
parking, always come to a com-
plete stop and continue to
depress the brake pedal. Shift
to the P (Park) position, then
apply the parking brake, and
place the POWER button in the
OFF position.
Vehicles parked with the park-
ing brake not applied or not
fully engaged may roll inadver-
tently and may cause injury to
the driver and others. ALWAYS
apply the parking brake before
exiting the vehicle.

Rear Cross-Traffic CollisionWarning
The Rear Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning (RCCW) feature monitors
approaching cross traffic from the left
and right side of the vehicle when
your vehicle is in reverse. The feature
will operate when the vehicle is mov-
ing in reverse below about 6 mph (10
km/h).
If oncoming cross traffic is detected a
warning chime will sound.
The time of alert varies according to
the speed difference between you
and the approaching vehicle.
Blind-Spot Collision Warning
(BCW) (if equipped)
Operating conditions
To operate:
Press the BCW switch with the
POWER button in the ON position.
The indicator on the BCW switch will
illuminate.
Always be aware of road con-
ditions while driving and be
alert for unexpected situa-
tions even though the Blind-
spot Collision Warning
(BCW)/Rear Cross-Traffic
Collision Warning (RCCW)
system is operating.
The Blind-Spot Collision
Warning (BCW)/Rear Cross-
Traffic Collision Warning
(RCCW) system is not a substi-
tute for proper and safe driv-
ing. Always drive safely and
use caution when changing
lanes or backing up the vehi-
cle. The Blind-Spot Collision
Warning (BCW)/Rear Cross-
Traffic Collision Warning
(RCCW) system may not detect
every object alongside the
vehicle.

LKA Operation
To activate/deactivate the LKA:
With the POWER button in the ON
position, press the LKA switch locat-
ed on the instrument panel on the left
hand side of the steering wheel. The
indicator in the cluster display will ini-
tially illuminate white. This indicates
the LKA is in the READY but NOT
ENABLED state.
If you press the LKA button again,
the indicator on the switch and clus-
ter display will go off.
Always have your hands on
the steering wheel while the
LKA system is activated. If
you continue to drive with
your hands off the steering
wheel after the "Keep hands
on steering wheel" warning
message appears, the system
will turn off automatically.
After then, if you drive with
your hands on the steering
wheel, the control will be acti-
vated again.
The steering wheel is not con-
tinuously controlled so if the
vehicle speed is at a higher
speed when leaving a lane the
vehicle may not be able to be
controlled by the system. The
driver must always follow the
speed limit when using the
system.
If you attach objects to the
steering wheel, the system
may not assist steering or the
hands off alarm may not work
properly.
The system detects lane
markers and controls the
steering wheel by a camera,
therefore, if the lane markers
are hard to detect, the system
may not work properly.
Please refer to "Limitations of
the system".
Do not remove or damage the
related parts of LKA.
You may not hear a warning
sound of LKA because of
excessive audio sound.
If any other warning sound
such as seat belt warning
chime is already generated,
the Lane Keeping Assist
(LKA) system warning may
not sound.
Do not place objects on the
dashboard that reflects light
such as mirrors, white paper,
etc. The system may malfunc-
tion if the sunlight is reflected.

Take the following precautions:
Always set the vehicle speed
under the speed limit.
If the Cruise Control is left on,
(cruise indicator light in the
instrument cluster is illumi-
nated) the Cruise Control can
be activated unintentionally.
Keep the Cruise Control sys-
tem off (cruise indicator light
OFF) when the Cruise Control
is not in use, to avoid inadver-
tently setting a speed.
Use the Cruise Control system
only when traveling on open
highways in good weather.
Do not use the Cruise Control
when it may be unsafe to keep
the vehicle at a constant
speed:
- When driving in heavy traffic
or when traffic conditions
make it difficult to drive at a
constant speed
- When driving on rainy, icy, or snow-covered roads
- When driving on hilly orwindy roads
- When driving in windy areas
- When driving with limited view (possibly due to bad
weather such as fog, snow,
rain and sandstorm) WARNING
